Introducing the newest edition, and first official dude of the Promises Promises cast, Lance LaChance! Oddly enough, he’s the only one with a surname, to date.
Lance also has the distinction of being the only character who’s design is not based directly on anyone I know. (Although, there are some similarities to my brother and that guy I married. Mostly in his height, hairline and jaw.) Consequently, I’ve been struggling with his design for ages. It felt like everything I did was way overboard, forced or stereotypical (IE. every guy I’ve drawn in every strip since the gym went co-ed), and I’d like him to be more than a spider-squashing, pickle jar opener.
I like him, he’s a nice, middle-of-the-road guy who brings another warm palette to the colour scheme. (I mean that artistically and multi-culturally. Not that it matters much in a black and white strip.) He’d be really easy to put into weight-training roles, but I think he digs Zumba too.
I think Lance is going to fit in very well XD Looking forward to his first ‘fitness’ encounter with the Baroness!
Awesome! This is going to be so interesting
Love the new addition Jules! Good lookin’ fella. Jocelyn approves of his taste in spiders.
